Plotting problem at full size AutoCAD LT

Hi,

We are using AutoCAD LT 2007 - with current borders, etc in modelspace only. The problem is that when we attempt to print the page at full size (i.e. 1:1), the page overlaps the paper on the preview and not all of the drawing is printed.

This occurs at all sizes - ISO A3, A2, A1 & A0. We have checked that the drawing border outer rectangle is the same size as the ISO sheet, then our borders start 10mm inside that.

Is there something in either AutoCAD or the printer driver that forces adjustment for printable area? By the way, the plotter is a HP 500.

Obviously, letting AutoCAD set the print scale automatically shrinks the page slightly, so the 100mm scale line comes out at about 96mm.

Any help gratefully received.

You may have to override the margins of the printer through the Plotter Manager.
